Anyone know what was up with this move??

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=291805

After riding behind 4449 on Friday and getting back into Owosso around 5:40 PM we didn't hang around long and headed for the highway. Probably sometime just before 6PM and halfway between Owosso and Durand I lucked into finding this move on GLC heading the same way we were and got ahead at a crossing. No idea what this was about but not one of the "advertised public moves"...

Thanks - figured it was some kind of "company service" move of some sort - presumably a "shuttle" returning from the festival.

Well, dang it Gregg... If I would've recognized you, I would've said hi. Mark Rummel was up at the Depot.

Last time I saw you Gregg, you had your socks pulled up to your knees in Durand. Geez, that was last year....
